Nerdist Podcast: Tenacious D

Share:

Jack Black & Kyle Gass join Chris & Jonah at Swinghouse Studios in Los Angeles for a chitty chat about country music, making fun of other bands, and how to approach Michael Stipe at a party. PLUS! The D perform a couple of songs from their fantastic new album “Rise of the Fenix” as well as a couple of classics–one of which might melt your brain out of your ears with awesomeness. This episode is definitely “beyond the rim of the starlight!”

THE D! Wow, this was a great episode. I still remember coming home with their first album when I was in high school and memorizing it in a week. I still sing it in the car (vocals AND guitar solos, of course.) This was so much fun, and I loved the request for something a little different at the end. I’ve never heard them cover the Star Trek theme, and Jack’s voice sounds amazing on it. Can’t wait for the new album!

That was the most awsome podcast episode i’ve heard in the longest time! I’ve always been a fan of The D, but after this episode, i’m actually gonna buy the new album!!! FULL PRICE EVEN! Everything about this show was awsome! give us more!

LONG LIVE THE D!!! Welcome back! We missed you! I have a reason to listen to music again! It breaks my heart that I have outgrown Weird Al, only because I don’t listen to the source material he parodies, but the D is TIMELESS and that’s what makes them so EPIC!!! Thank you for this podcast/preview concert!

Methemoglobinemia and Argyia are both “blue person” conditions. I was fortunate to have seen one while working as a Nursing assistant! To The D: I support this cause…or you could go with this: http://www.aliceinwonderlandsyndrome.net
Sound like this would make a great song! Thank you Nerdist for this awesome interview!

In my opinion, this is by far the BEST Nerdist Podcast I have listened to. Jables and Kage, you guys are coming to Kansas City in July, and I am going to sell parts of my body, if not the whole thing, to be at that show. Jables you are my hero, and I wish I had even a small fraction of the talent you have. Kage, you also my hero, because you play the guitar like Dr. G plays drums, with all of heart, and like a god.

I must apologize in advance, but I’m about to nerd-out on you guys … about Garth Brooks.

However, this is the Nerdist website and I’m going to let my nerd flag fly about trivial crap that nobody cares about.

The Chris Gaines project from Garth Brooks was not his idea. He was approached by Paramount Pictures to do the pre-soundtrack for a movie, The Lamb, as part of a marketing plan. Brooks provided the voice for the character. The wikipedia claims he was slated to play the role, which is untrue. Funding fell through and the movie was never made nor was there any follow up marketing, leaving the album to stand alone and Brooks to look crazy for doing it to those who don’t know the story.

Personally, as a Garth Brooks fan, I think the album is very good and I’d probably rank it higher than Scarecrow or Sevens on my list of favorite Garth Brooks albums.

Again, sorry to have to nerd-out on you but this is what living in Yukon, OK (where Garth Brooks grew up) at eight-years-old when Garth Brooks first album and through the release of his next three albums will do to a person.
